About Me
Seeking opportunities in either consumer insights, user experience (UX) or learning experience (LX) research
Bio
I’m David DW Liu and I leverage data to drive results. I am seeking opportunities in consumer insights, market research, User experience(UX)/learner experience (LX) research, data sciences, program evaluation, and project management. Through my empathy, I aim to understand and improve the experiences of people. I do this by answering questions such as who, what, why, and how. Outside of research, I enjoy attending community events, arts & crafts, and traveling.
Researcher: 6 years of qualitative and quantitative data generation and analysis using observations, videos, interviews, focus groups, surveys, and large datasets.
Evaluator: 5 years of collaborating and partnering large institutions such as schools/afterschool and STEM museums in evaluating effectiveness, conducting competitive landscape analyses, and writing summative and formative evaluations.
Designer: 3 years of UX/LX and design research using A/B testing, journey maps, and prototype development.
Improver: 6 years of improving tools, products, educational learning environments, consumer packaged goods, and consumer services through data-driven results.

Research and Teaching
Research
Much of my research is engaging with communities. I implement after-school science programs with undergraduate student educators. I collect data in the form of school work, interviews, surveys, and video. My research team analyzes the data. Our findings are implemented in an afterschool program we run to continuously improve our teaching.
